Description

This little book is a great photographic journey through the Indian/Native American tribes, ranging from the Apaches to the Klamaths to the Hopis. The portraits are magnificent and totally historic, and the photos of the women and children are so noteworthy. If you mentioned early, authentic photographers of the tribes, the name Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) would surely emerge. His own photo makes him appear rustic and tough, and in the same vein as a real Indiana Jones. I was particularly impressed with the photos of the warrior Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, and the fully decorated Wishram bride of 1910. You can easily see that the women of the tribe went to great lengths with the beads, necklaces, headbands and her dress, to make her the most beautiful bride possible and an obvious credit to her clan. Anyone studying American history should add this one to his/her library.
